Though each live-action Star Wars TV show has brought us something different, there’s no denying that some episodes have something extra – a quality that makes them endlessly rewatchable.
It's not just an important episode because of what it did for the franchise as a whole, though. This episode is just a great bit of TV storytelling, period. Din Djarin’s introduction, the mystery of the Mandalorian covert, his bounty hunting practices, and, of course, that fateful first meeting with The Child make this one of Star Wars’ most rewatchable and most popular live-action TV episodes of all time.
Not only did Dawson knock it out of the park in her debut, but her dynamic with Din Djarin and The Child – sorry, Grogu – was a joy to watch. Learning Grogu’s name was perhaps one of the most compelling moments in The Mandalorian, not only because a piece of his past was finally revealed to us, but because it meant so much to Din, too. Let’s not forget the Lady Morgan Elsbeth b-plot, either. Her duel with Ahsoka is riveting.
This is arguably the most important episode of The Mandalorian season 3, which should tell us all something about the overall narrative trajectory in the show’s most recent season. Anything significant felt rushed, and anything that wasn’t significant was leisurely explored. Though “The Convert” was clearly a re-used storyline that was supposed to be part of the canceled Rangers of the New Republic show, it’s vital nonetheless.
One of those six episodes is, however, worthy of a rewatch. The finale not only brought us the gut-wrenching visual of Vader’s destroyed helmet after their duel together, but it also gave us a tense final showdown with Reva at the Lars homestead on Tatooine, a lovely final goodbye with a young Princess Leia, and Qui-Gon Jinn’s Force Ghost. It’s an intriguing, fast-paced episode. It proved what the show could have been if Lucasfilm had been willing to take more creative risks.
This episode is an emotional rollercoaster. Just when you think you can cheer because the prisoners are making their escape, Serkis’ Kino Loy reveals the saddest truth of all: he can’t swim. He helped his fellow prisoners escape to freedom, knowing all the while that he wouldn’t be able to do so himself. Rewatch this episode in his honor.
